A system described herein may apply an authorized set of traffic parameters, such as network slicing parameters, Quality of Service (“QoS”) parameters, etc. to traffic associated with a particular application, without exposing an identifier of the traffic to one or more network devices of a network that handles the traffic. A client associated with a User Equipment (“UE”) may selectively apply traffic parameters to traffic associated with the particular application further based on whether a UE-side authorization of the particular application for the traffic parameters has been performed. The UE may present a user interface via which a user may select whether to authorize or deny the use of traffic parameters, authorized by the network, for the particular application. If the particular application has been authorized by both the network and the user of the UE, the UE may apply the traffic parameters to traffic associated with the particular application.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The device of claim 1, wherein the user interface is presented based on identifying that the first and second applications are authorized by the network to use the particular set of traffic parameters.
4. The device of claim 3, wherein the user interface does not include an indication that the third application has been authorized by the network to use the particular set of traffic parameters.
5. The device of claim 1, wherein the set of traffic parameters are associated with a particular set of Quality of Service (“QoS”) parameters.
6. The device of claim 1, wherein applying the particular set of traffic parameters comprises including an indicator, associated with the particular set of traffic parameters, in header information of the traffic associated with the first application.
7. The device of claim 1, wherein the set of traffic parameters are associated with a particular slice of the network.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the user interface is presented based on identifying that the first and second applications are is authorized by the network to use the particular set of traffic parameters.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the set of traffic parameters are associated with a particular set of Quality of Service (“QoS”) parameters.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10, wherein the user interface does not include an indication that the third application has been authorized by the network to use the particular set of traffic parameters.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8, wherein applying the particular set of traffic parameters comprises including an indicator, associated with the particular set of traffic parameters, in header information of the traffic associated with the first application.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the set of traffic parameters are associated with a particular slice of the network.
17. The method of claim 16, wherein the user interface does not include an indication that the third application has been authorized by the network to use the particular set of traffic parameters.
18. The method of claim 15, wherein the set of traffic parameters are associated with a particular set of Quality of Service (“QoS”) parameters.
19. The method of claim 15, wherein applying the particular set of traffic parameters comprises including an indicator, associated with the particular set of traffic parameters, in header information of the traffic associated with the first application.
20. The method of claim 15, wherein the set of traffic parameters are associated with a particular slice of the network.
